"'O brothers," I said, "who through a hundred thousand perils have reached the west, to this so little vigil of our senses that remains, do not choose to deny the experience of [what lies] behind the sun, of the world without human beings. Consider your seed [the race you spring from]: you were not made to live like brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.'"
Inferno
(Canto 26, lines 112-120)

Who cares what one majors in. The whole point of the topic was to say that the pursuit of money is foolish when it becomes the center of your life. It's unfortunate to go through life with such tunnel visioned thinking. Am I credible in saying this? I think so. I have a B.S. in Biology which I earned by taking only the required liberal art class (1) I had to. My brain is not hard wired for art, sociology, or philosophy classes. I like to walk through an art gallery every now and then, I watch the History channel, but you'll never catch me wanting to take a liberal arts class. So what? I can appreciate those that want to. That makes me 100x better than a millionaire engineer who is so self centered he can't understand why anyone would want to take such 'obviously stupid classes'. Anonymous has no class and small character. What would I know though, I only have a science degree. Touche.
